Vice President Kamala Harris arrives at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago after one of the most improbable summers in American political history. In a span of less than six weeks, former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt and appeared just two days later at the Republican National Convention; Trump tapped JD Vance as his VP pick; Joe Biden, under pressure following an abysmal debate performance, exited the race; and Democrats quickly coalesced around Harris, who picked Tim Walz as her running mate and hit the ground running. Harris, who has narrowed the gap with Trump and is outpolling him in some key states, is riding a wave of Democratic joy and enthusiasm heading into this week’s convention, where she’ll have an opportunity to make her case—to millions—for why Trump’s right-wing agenda is the wrong way forward for America.
